Pokémon: Starting with a Pokémon Ranch.

Chapter 341: First Anniversary Celebration, Karuno Begins Filming

That evening.

Su Yu also prepared a lot of lavish meals, which he placed on several large tables outside the house, filling them to the brim.

"Uh... Su Yu, are you celebrating the New Year early?"

Seeing the huge changes in the ranch, Yang Hao asked in confusion.

"No, it's just a small celebration. Want to come along?" Su Yu asked.

Upon hearing this, Yang Hao immediately pulled out his own chopsticks along with Bulbasaur. He sat down in the chair and said:

"Hehe, then I'll gladly accept."

Su Yu: ...

He invited the Pokémon to sit down; there were enough tables and chairs he had set out.

Upon hearing this, Alcremie, Caterpie, and other Pokémon that were closest to Su Yu also sat down at Su Yu's table.

Su Yu then placed each Pokémon's favorite food on their plate. Having spent so much time together, he knew exactly what each Pokémon liked.

The little sheep were very happy to see the delicious food on their plates.

And this meal lasted until almost sunset.

Rotom turned on the lights outside, and the previously dim light suddenly brightened. The Sky Tree in the distance, adorned with lanterns, looked particularly charming.

At that moment, Alcremie also pushed over the "dessert" they had made.

It was a huge cake, nearly forty meters tall, like a skyscraper.

"Good heavens, this is huge... Can we even finish all of this?" Su Yu's lips twitched.

After all, there aren't many gluttonous Pokémon on the ranch.

Wait a minute, it seems like Dragonite and the others have pretty big appetites?

Su Yu looked at the Dragonite's big bellies.

Perhaps because it was the first time they had seen something that looked so delicious, the Dragonite's mouths watered.

"Do you really want to eat it?" Su Yu asked the goofy Dragonite.

Upon hearing this, the silly Dragonite nodded rapidly, almost leaving afterimages.

"Then let's line up and cut it. Onion Soldier, I'm leaving the cake-cutting job to you."

"Huh?!" Suddenly called out, Onion Soldier glanced at his Onion Sword and immediately shook his head.

"I didn't mean for you to chop green onions; there are special knives for that." Su Yu said, both amused and exasperated.

Since Cong Youbing was unwilling, he had no choice but to cut it himself.

Su Yu had the Pokémon line up one by one, and when it came to Guleton and Dragonite, he specially cut them into larger pieces.

"So, this must be Leighton's first time eating cake too, right?"

"Agas~" Upon hearing this, Guleton nodded.

"Then I'll cut it into bigger pieces for you," Su Yu said.

He placed the cut cake on Guleton's head, and with the big cake on his head, Guleton happily walked to the side.

Soon, the forty-meter-tall cake was finished. After eating their fill, the Dragonite patted their round bellies and sat on the grass with satisfied expressions.

The woolly-horned sheep still haven't forgotten their racing competition. After gathering together in a large flock, they run wild all over the pasture.

Su Yu sat outside with the Pokémon, gazing at the stars. He recalled how, when Caterpie and the others first arrived, he would often ask them about their dreams.

Now, a year later, these dreams have basically all come true.

"I wonder if they still have any unfulfilled wishes?" Thinking of this, Su Yu asked the Pokémon.

"Mama~" I hope Mom and the others can move to the vicinity of the ranch!

"No problem, Hoopa will help us move it over when he comes back next time. Caterpie, what about you?"

The caterpillar's wish was to always protect the ranch. But Su Yu immediately rejected this answer; what kind of wish was that?

"Hiss..."

Upon hearing this, the caterpillar looked thoughtful. It could now be considered the strongest caterpillar in the world.

Besides the pastures, it hopes that the tribe can achieve better development.

But it hopes to fulfill this wish itself.

"That won't do, I'll help too." Su Yu shook his head; his Pokémon's wish was his wish as well.

This deeply moved the caterpillar, which nodded vigorously, indicating that it would also try its best.

……

The next day.

I put a notebook in the drawer; it was filled with the wishes of the Pokémon on the ranch.

Woolly hopes to have more companions, and Sweetie hopes to evolve soon.

The former is easier to solve. That same day, Su Yu went to the neighboring ranch and bought a lot of woolen sheep.

In the afternoon, Karuno returned to the ranch. This time, she brought the entire filming crew.

"Is filming about to start so soon?" Su Yu asked upon seeing this.

Diantha nodded. That's how fast the film industry in the Pokémon world moves.

With Pokémon involved, the efficiency of filming and production was greatly improved. And assembling the team was not a problem for Diantha either.

"Speaking of which, I still need Farfetch'd and Knight Snail to play the leading roles."

After searching around, Karuno couldn't find the two, so she had to ask Su Yu.

"At this time of year... they should still be planting scallions in the field."

"??!" Karuno looked bewildered. Planting onions? What is she doing?!

After finding two Pokémon, Diantha released a Gallade from the Poké Ball.

This is the counterpart to Gardevoir, another evolution of Kirlia, possessing superb swordsmanship.

The karuna and the onion soldiers explained:

"This Gallade and the two of you are the main characters in this movie."

"As for the villains, we already have someone in mind: the evil legion led by General Pudao."

Servant General, the evolved form of Slashing Commander, has an extremely fierce appearance.

As she spoke, Diantha threw out several more Poké Balls, releasing General Pokémon and its minions.

As soon as the ball was released, General Servant glared at Onion Soldier with hostility, looking extremely unfriendly.

Onion Soldier remained unfazed. After sparring with Knight Snail for several days, its strength had greatly improved. Now, it possessed the combat power of a Heavenly King.

Unfortunately, even after becoming stronger, it was still no match for the Knight Snail. The Knight Snail must have been hiding its true strength when it first arrived at the ranch.

Then, Karuno explained the script to the Onion Shooter and the others, and reminded them of the details they needed to pay attention to.

After watching for a while, Su Yu ran to the Sky Tree.

There, the Crowned King, the little goat, and the caterpillar are gathered together, channeling energy into the Sky Tree.

This caused the Sky Tree to grow continuously, and after exceeding 300 meters, it underwent new changes.

The branches and leaves, which were originally growing randomly, began to show obvious stratification.

This is somewhat similar to the World Tree, where each branch and leaf forms a new fan-shaped platform to facilitate the lives of the Pokémon on it.

There are many such platforms on the Sky Tree.

"In this way, the caterpillars can live freely on it, just like they did on the ancient tree before," Su Yu thought to himself.

This is obviously a good thing, as the original Sky Tree's branches and leaves were messy and not conducive to Pokémon's activities on it.

Seeing the dramatic changes in the Sky Tree, its inhabitants all rushed out. Upon seeing these young members of its kind, the caterpillar begged them to come down.

Upon hearing this, the little green caterpillars immediately scurried down and gathered under the tree. Judging from what the caterpillars said, it seemed they were about to receive some special training?

"Are you trying to help them become stronger?" Su Yu asked, somewhat puzzled. Was this how the caterpillars helped their colony develop?

Since that's the case, he might as well come and help. After all, he's a human trainer.
